Lecturer

Hideaki Isobe

August 2, 12:00~13:30

Complex sound generation by event processing

Overview

We plan to create a piece with a slightly complicated event by assembling sequences with algorithms in MAX.

Lecturer

Hideaki Isobe

August 3, 12:00~13:30

Expansion of the work by external input

Overview

We plan to create a patch that changes the sound in MAX with some real-time data from the web, sensors, and simple external input from the keyboard.
